ALL SORTS.

When there is grand jury report there is
an explanation. Why is it that leading
member of every grand jury feels called upon
to offer public explanation of it's doings?
1t CHANGED yesterday morning that the
GLOBE inadvertently made a mistake in refer
ence to Aid. Mills. OF course the same thing,
error and all, appeared in the Journal. An
other deadly parallel.
What nice thing it would be if the street
cars could only borrow u little speed of the
motor. The latter shoots along at twenty
mile gait, and the former creep like snails.
Why in the world cannot the police CON-
mission hurry themselves-get a move on
them, and not keep the force in this demoral-
izing suspense? About the only thing accom-
plished so far is the resignation of Detective
Quinlan, one of the very best men on the
force.
How would it do to have the chairman of
the Republican county committee appoint
the assistant grain inspectors? Perhaps
they would be able to select the Republican
kernels from the Democratic kernels and
that is pretty fair inspection.
Are the girls smarter than the boys, that
the graduating class of the high school con-
tains so many more misses than masters?
1.-THE outfield of the Minneapolis team
with the exception of Foster, is weak" This
is what an imbecile evening paper says. o. J.
Patton, the right-felder, is one of the best
men in the team, in field and at bat
The subtle Charles w. Johnson is back from
Washington and is again at his literary
work" One OF his efforts in this direction
was calm and thoughtful discussion of the
Irish question, which he sent in the form of
letter of regret to the anti-coerciop meeting
at Harmonic hall Friday night, but which the
secretary Of the meeting, owing to the late
ness of the hour, thoughtfully forgot to
read. Another bit of his literary work is
now filed with the city clerk, and will
be sprung upon the city council
at its next meeting. 1t is an arraignment of
the municipal administration because more
old soldiers have not been made policemen,
and demands that the heroes of the late war
should hereafter be given as good chance
TO work for the city as people who were born
outside of the United States. The Grand
Army posts have of late been making organ
lied endeavors to have their comrades
appointed to offices, and a meeting to
accomplish this end was held last week at
George N Morgan post when an address to
the city council was read and adopted. 1t did
not, however, give it to "Anes and his gang
with sufficient force to suit Charles, so he had
it referred to a committee consisting of
Charles w. johnson, Louis Maish and Ward
+. Grey to fix it up little 1t is under
derstood that the article has now been
fixed" and the public will await the pleas
ure of reading Mr.. Johnsons graceful sem
fences and rounded periods with considerable
interest. t.
Minnear olis men are hustlers always Last
week Architect JOralman went to Brookings,
Dak., to see about drawing plans for the new
building of the Dakota agricultural college
He found the board o regents in session, and
ready to adopt plans that day. Two sets of
plans, nicely drawn in ink, had been submit
ted to them, and they had about decided to
adopt one. Mr.. j., nothing daunted, asked
the regents to give him three hours in which
TO submit floor plans, an elevation in per-
spective and specifications. They consented
The Minneapolis man looked over the ground,
and found out what was wanted, went to his
hotel and worked with will. He submitted
his plan at the specified time, and it was
unanimously adopted by the regents. Mr..
Joralman's competitors were a prominent
Chicago architect and q well-known Des
MOneS man.
